a| Klimov satirized the Soviet Union's "Young Pioneers" summer camps for kids in his delightful, daring first feature, described by Soviet cinema authority Ian Christie as "a comedy of rare bite and wit." Its hero is 11-year-old Kostya, who is expelled from camp for misbehavior after he goes swimming out of bounds. Fearful of earning grandmother's wrath back home, Kostya sneaks back into camp, where he is hidden by the other children — and where he foments rebellion against the camp's authoritarian director. A dexterous parody of POW drama that includes several hilarious fantasy sequences, "Welcome, or No Trespassing" earned the ire of state censors and was initially banned — but not because of its rebellious spirit or apparent political allegory: the apparatchiks were concerned about the resemblance between Kostya's grandmother and Khrushchev. (Khrushchev himself, who enjoyed the film, intervened to have it released.) "Here is the other face of the early sixties Soviet New Wave; playful, satirical and very much part of the wave of irreverence that swept through western cinema." (Christie)
